A Borderline Personality Disorder Story.

Category Archives: streaming

Lately, I’ve been trying my hand at streaming via Twitch. It has been a LOT of fun, and I’ve had the pleasure of chatting with a few people who I might not have had the chance to talk with if I’d decided not to go ahead and play videos for others like this.

If you’ve played the equally awesome game Faster Than Light, this is probably going to be another one of those that you enjoy. As someone from the future you work with pilots and their mech to rid the world of Vek which are invading in the hopes of breeding until they eliminate all human life by stomping on the high rise flats all of humanity seems to have congregated into.

As someone who also enjoys tracking achievements, and having something very visual to looking at whilst doing so I wrote out a list of all the achievements… Nothing new there for me, however – I really wanted to share my progress, with some other information!

Where better to publicise that information than my very own WEBSITE! Yay.

So here it is. My list of completed achievements, the order that I achieve them in, and the date on which they were accomplished!

Victory [Date: 14th May Achievement: 15]Win a game (of any length).

Best of the Best [Date: 20th May Achievement: 21] Get 3 pilots with the highest experience level.

So, recently I’ve been playing a really fun game. I got Star Wars Battlefront with my PS4 back before Christmas as an early present from my Mum & Step-Dad, but thanks to the crazy outback Alaskan satellite internet I wasn’t able to play it right away.

Turns out even when I got back it was going to be a no go, due in part to not having a Playstation Plus account – and even after I bought some time just before my birthday I’d completely forgotten I could now play Battlefront until recently.

Which brings me to the point of this rant, because that’s what it is.

There are so many unimaginative usernames out there! I’ve played with people so desperate to call themselves nacho that they feel the need to add 2857358652523879325962395 at the end of their name for the originality of a bland and boring handle that makes no sense and won’t even differentiate them from anyone else who had the awesome idea of calling themselves nacho.

There are plenty of words in the world to use, either on their own or in combination with other words! I think I can even tolerate the use of numbers as a replacement for certain letters. 0 (zero) for an O for example!! Sometimes. Maybe.

I’ve been streaming my efforts, and it turns out that this seems to be a major hang up of mine, but I can’t really decide what the reason for my frustrations are. It’s not like their username is offensive me, nor should it bring the anger that it does, but I suppose it is JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS.

I spent some time trying to rationalise the whole thing. Even the addition of numbers after a username to denote a year of birth is– frustrating to me?!

Maybe it’s a way to deflect my frustrations at almost always ending up in the bottom half of the scoreboard by the end of each campaign, but I’ll embrace the elitism nonetheless!
